As CBS 2s Dave Carlin reported, Jack Pawlowski was led out of his Queens home in handcuffs Wednesday, with his stunned wife and three young kids looking on. He said nothing as detectives put him into a squad car.

. . .

Pawlowski told CBS 2 he took a toy gun, and two of his kids, around the corner to Ditmars Park. It was around noon and packed with kids and their parents.

. . .

Another mom who was on a playground at the park at the time said she walked up to Pawlowski, and told him to take the toy gun and his kids and leave.

I dont tend to take things lying down, so I went past the parents, and so I walked straight over and I confronted him, said Leni Calas. I mean, hes brandishing a firearm and I dont care if that firearm is plastic. Thats unacceptable.

. . .

He remained in custody Wednesday evening, on charges of reckless endangerment, endangering the welfare of a minor, resisting arrest, and possession of an illegal BB gun.

Hopefully, there are some good lawyers out there (not in the gubmit, obviously...cuz they are GOOD lawyers), that will sue 1) the gubmit, and 2) the low life piece of Obama-crement that turned in this person.

Also, just for the fun of it, I really think someone ought to put the address of the playground dork that started this thing.

I dont tend to take things lying down, so I went past the parents, and so I walked straight over and I confronted him, said Leni Calas. I mean, hes brandishing a firearm and I dont care if that firearm is plastic. Thats unacceptable.

That's a good way to get your ass kicked around here.

Another classic case of the chronic, no-cure, mental disease known as liberalism.
The communists are doing everything they can to indoctrinate our young and doing it by demonizing firearms. They know they cannot take us over unless we are totally disarmed. They are looking at the long term and trying to raise a whole generation of people that will will hate firearms. Many are questioning if CWII will break out before that happens.

(It's easy to be liberal when you're dumber than a box of rocks.)

I dont tend to take things lying down, [translation: I am a rude, self-important liberal and everyone must acknowledge my opinion] so I went past the parents, and so I walked straight over and I confronted him, said Leni Calas. I mean, hes brandishing a firearm and I dont care if that firearm is plastic. Thats unacceptable.

Thankfully the guy's kids didn't have candy cigarettes in their mouths in addition to their dad playing with a piece of plastic molded to look like a gun. They would be in a foster home by now. The personal opinions of liberals are now being enforced as law by police. Welcome to Hell.

(When there are more people riding in the cart than there are pulling it, the cart stops moving...)

****Smilios saw the toy up close, and at first thought it was the real thing. She gave CBS 2 a cellphone photo she said shows Pawlowski firing pellets at a tree.

The next thing, he took his son, who is 3, and showed him how to use it, and then the family took turns shooting the gun. He gave it to his daughter, who took off on the bicycle and started racing around the park with the gun pointing this way and just started pointing it at the kids, Smilios said.****

As a parent, I would have been concerned about that girl pointing a BB gun at my child or any others.

This woman would probably be one of the first ones killed when SHTF. Or she will learn her place on the food chain very quickly.

People that are tired of this nonsense, will not have any patience for people like her.

She will probably be trading her body for a can of Spam within a couple weeks. And I am not passing judgement on her for this I am just saying she and her kids will be hungry and she (if she survives) will do what she can to provide for her kids after having an Awakening to the new reality.

People will be dealing for survival and she will think she can waltz right up and demand something from someone who may have a sick child at home that they are trying to get medicine for, and are trying to trade something to keep them alive. They will not take too kindly to this attitude.

We are a nation of cowards and spineless p@ssies and you can take that to the bank.

Those of us who are not cowards will survive, well some of us will, most none-Freeper types will not.

Hopefully, there are some good lawyers out there (not in the gubmit, obviously...cuz they are GOOD lawyers), that will sue 1) the gubmit, and 2) the low life piece of Obama-crement that turned in this person.

Given the firearm charges, he could conceivably press charges for 18USC241 & 242 violations... as well as sue the officers directly under 42USC1983.

In the coming months, years when Islam has gained an even greater foothold here, and when acts of violence that result in massive violence and death, we of the survivors will call women like these "victims" who died because of placing the placebo of Democrat 'feelgoodism' above common sense.

What is happening to our country? Toy gun bans and confiscation? BB gun bans and confiscation?

Unfortunately this is nothing new, it just gets more news time.

In the 1990's we drove down from New Hampshire to visit relatives in New Jersey. My uncle, who was in his 60's at the time and had never had so much as a traffic ticket in his life just happened to mention how he had been waiting over a year to get a permit approved so he could buy the 50th anniversary Daisy Red Ryder BB gun, a toy that he had played with as a child. So I told him that I would buy him one when I got back up to NH.

Our local store was sold out of Red Ryders but they said there was one available in their Methuen, MA store just over the border. We drove to Methuen and picked out the bb gun. When we went to pay we were told we had to apply for a permit to buy and wait for it to be approved by the police. I walked out in disgust.

As it turned out my sister, who also lived in NJ, was in Maine on business. I called her. She bought the BB gun at Kittery Trading Post, took it back and gave it to my uncle. He displayed it on the wall over his fireplace like it was a trophy.

All that trouble over a child's toy and you wonder why we left New Jersey.

My guess is that there was a toy gun at the park. The BB gun was found when the police went to his home and arrested him.

Toy guns, BB guns, handguns, rifles, shotguns, fully automatic weapons and so on would be legal every where. I just have to laugh at the utter stupidity of New Yorkers. They built their utopia. I am prepared to stop its spread.

RE :”Toy guns, BB guns, handguns, rifles, shotguns, fully automatic weapons and so on would be legal every where. I just have to laugh at the utter stupidity of New Yorkers. They built their utopia. I am prepared to stop its spread. “

I remember BB guns were illegal there NYC as far back as 1960s when I was young,

So I guess the moral is ‘dont take a real looking toy gun out in public in NYC if you have a illegal BB gun at home’, if thats what really happened.

(To GOP : Any path to US citizenship IS putting them ahead in line. Stop lying about your position.)

People think I'm crazy but I think I make a pretty good case for choosing Detroit over NY, Chicago, or most other large cities. (If I were to live in a city)

In Detroit you can eat or drink what you choose and you can openly carry a gun and use it in self defense if necessary. Detroit politicians are crooks but they don't care what the people do. I think it should be encouraged as a destination for urban frontiersmen.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The toy gun was a plastic pellet gun that shoots plastic pellets. Being hit with a rubber band would be more painful. Plastic pellet guns are not BB guns in book, but Bloomberg would argue that point since he knows everything about guns.
